The goal of this research is to develop a small-capacity power generator that may be used as an alternative energy source for home use, particularly in rural regions. The hydraulic ram pump was included in the design as a critical component for extending the duration of power production by turbines and generators, which was achieved via innovative engineering. During the manufacturing of hydraulic ram pumps, there are three test variants, which are comprised of the intake pipe length (2.6m), the output pipe height (2.5m, 3.2m, and 3.7m), and the outlet pipe diameter (3/4") of each pump. As a consequence of these findings, the average maximum performance of the hydroelectric power plant with the hydraulic ram pump system in this research was achieved at a reservoir height of 2.7 (m), with a voltage resulting in 7.3 (volts) (volts). With a turbine diameter of 46 cm, an intake pipe diameter of 3/4 cm, and a turbine inlet discharge of 7.2 liters per minute, the generator can produce electrical energy to the tune of 7.3 kilowatt hours (volts).

Abstract Cypripedium calceolus is considered an endangered species in the territory of Poland. Population of this rare species, situated at Lake Kwiecko (Western Pomerania), was regularly monitored in the years 1986-2013. The studied population has been under the permanent influence of the nearby hydroelectric power plant for almost 45 years. The field observations showed that the power plant had no negative impact on the condition of Cypripedium calceolus population. An indication of its good condition was, among others, an increase in the size - from 150 to 350 specimens within the study period.

When calculating the maximum upsurge in surge tank due to load rejection in a hydroelectric power plant, it has been natural and customary to believe that the maximum surge amplitude occurs in simultaneous load rejection of all units at 100% load. As 2-stage load rejection (2-stage LR), involving a step-wise reduction in load, is not considered since it is assumed to produce less severe surge conditions. This study formulates the surge superposition associated with 2-stage LR and shows, surprisingly but significantly, that such 2-stage LR sometimes produces more severe surge conditions than simultaneous and complete load rejection (SCLR). The results indicate that this unexpected phenomenon is ascribable to the resistant effect of throttled surge tank, whose increase will lead to a greater difference in the maximum upsurges between 2-stage LR and SCLR conditions. Different time intervals during 2-stage LR correspond to different maximum upsurges. The analytical formula predicting the worst interval time is derived exactly and verified with two numerical cases.
